Weighted least squares (WLS) improves calibration accuracy, especially at low analyte concentrations where ordinary least squares (OLS) fails. Chromatographic data often exhibits heteroscedastic noise ...

After a brief description of the essentials of Monte Carlo simulation methods and the definition of simulation efficiency, the rationale for variance-reduction techniques is presented. Popular ...

Utility, the key decision variable underlying economic choices, should represent risk, which is inherent to real-life decisions. We studied two prevalent forms of risk that are characterized by the ...

Statistical testing provides a paradigm for deciding whether the data are or are not typical of the values expected when the hypothesis is true. Because our objective is usually to detect a departure ...

Two widely tested empirical patterns in ecology are combined here to predict how the variation of population density relates to the average body size of organisms. Taylor’s law (TL) asserts that the ...

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical technique to analyze variation in a response variable (continuous random variable) measured under conditions defined by discrete factors (classification ...
